[PATCH 1/24] ver_linux: echo.patch

[PATCH 1/24] ver_linux: echo.patch

[Alexander Kapshuk]

While not a problem in itself, I was not sure why 'echo space' was used.
Not being aware of any immediate benefits to this, I thought using
'echo' by itself would suffice in printing a newline, which I believe is
the desired behaviour.

Your subject is really "odd", it doesn't really describe what you are
doing in a single line, it just has a file name in it :(

What did you use to generate these?  I got a few duplicates, and there
isn't a "leading" 0 for the first 9 patches.  git can spit these out
correctly very simply, I recommend using that in the future.

Can you respin these patches with correct subject lines, based on this,
and the other feedback you have gotten and resend them?
